does anyone have a vernier throttle on one side and the t handle throttle on the right?
do you have to unlock the left to use the right?
what does everybody have?
anything you would do different?

Tracy,
My 601 HD is not flying yet, but I have dual friction lock
throttles. The throttles came as part of the JabiruUSA dual throttle kit.
On the co-pilot side I removed the plastic bushing that creates the friction
in the throttle handle. So now only the pilot side throttle provides
friction and friction adjustment. I saved the part to use as a replacement
later. Both throttles can actually be reached from either seat if needed.

I am not flying yet either, but I have exactly the setup you're describing. I have an A-810 friction lock throttle on the left and the supplied T handle on the right. I simply filed the friction block down until it gave zero friction on the throttle bellcrank. Yes, you have to unlock the left side to move the right.
It seems satisfactory and I'm glad I made the modifications.

I do, it came with my Skyshops firewall forward kit. It is not the pushbutton type but the one with the twist lock collar, works great. The friction can be adjusted to work with both sides. No complaints on this end.
